Quickly,while I do think users should be allowed to opt-in, this needs to be about transparency. Take Facebook for example, they actually have pretty decent security options, but few use them because they are buried in menus and sub-menus.</p> I forgot to mention, my thoughts on data protection as it relates to the article.

Wesabe is the onlypersonal finance site that is following an emerging protocol wherein user data, once made irrelevant by either time or by request, is absolutely wiped from their system. This may not sound interesting on the surface, but consider the fact that many data attacks are perpetrated in off-site storage and non-critical sectors that house data that, though still valuable, is considered less than a priority. By wiping it, they eliminate the risk.</p> A little off topic but your mentioning of Wesabe reminded me of something that I think is relevant here.
